Michael Gibbs: Still Pushing The Envelope
by Ian Patterson
In a career spanning well over fifty years, veteran composer/arranger Michael Gibbs has chalked up a truly impressive range of credits, from Mahavishnu Orchestra to Jaco Pastorius, from Gary Burton to John Scofield and from Kenny Wheeler to Norma Winstone. The Zimbabwe-born maestro has worked with the very best jazz musicians on both sides of the ...
Michael Gibbs & The NDR Big Band: Play a Bill Frisell Set List / In My View
by Ian Patterson
Though his recording career dates back to the early 1960s, Zimbabwe-born arranger, composer and musician Michael Gibbs hasn't always been as prolific as a leader as he might have been. Five albums in the first half the 1970 represented his most industrious period of creativity, as teaching, television and film work and arranging for a surprisingly ...
NDR Big Band: Tall Tales of Jasper County
by Angelo Leonardi
Il nuovo progetto della NDR Big Band non è solo una conferma d'eccellenza ma mette in luce le doti di Dale Wilson, un compositore / orchestratore e professore al Connecticut College che si occupa principalmente di etnomusicologia.

Simon Nabatov / Mark Dresser: Projections
by John Sharpe
Projections captures an improvised duo encounter between émigré Russian pianist Simon Nabatov and Californian bassist Mark Dresser. Although they first played together as part of German composer Klaus Konig's Orchestra in 1992, it's taken until now for their first head to head.

Livelove Radio Bremen series continues: Working Week and Jazz Passengers
by Mark Sullivan
The Livelove series issuing archival live Radio Bremen recordings began with Larry Coryell & The Eleventh House from January 1975 (Promising Music, 2015) and the Horace Silver Quintet from June 1977 (Promising Music, 2015).

by John Eyles
The Peeled Eye is the debut release from Boris Hauf's revived Shameless label, which has switched from being a subscription-only limited edition label to releasing experimental rock, noise and pop recordings.

Stephan Micus: Nomad Songs
by Mario Calvitti
Il viaggio del polistrumentista tedesco Stephan Micus attraverso una geografia musicale immaginaria aggiunge un'altra tappa al suo già notevole cammino, testimoniato da una discografia che in 40 anni ha raggiunto i 23 titoli, quasi tutti pubblicati da ECM. I canti nomadi del titolo descrivono il complesso della sua opera, risultato di tanti anni di vagabondaggio attraverso ...
Various Artists: Hommage à Eberhard Weber
by Mario Calvitti
Sono passati 8 anni da quel giorno del 2007 quando un ictus colpì il contrabbassista Eberhard Weber durante un tour con il gruppo di Jan Garbarek lasciandolo semiparalizzato e incapace di continuare l'attività concertistica. Per non rimanere completamente inoperoso in campo musicale, Weber ha recentemente pubblicato due CD, Resumé e Encore, contenenti suoi assoli di contrabbasso ...

by Neri Pollastri
Cambia ancora la formazione del gruppo diretto dalla pianista tedesca Julia Hülsmann, includendo adesso--oltre la tromba e il flicorno di Tom Arthurs, arrivato nel precedente lavoro--anche la voce del talentuoso ed eclettico vocalist tedesco Theo Bleckmann. Tale allargamento è legato al particolare progetto alla base di questo CD: riprendere e reinterpretare la musica di Kurt Weill. ...
Igor Osypov Quintet: I
by Dave Wayne
A native of Ukraine currently studying at Jazz Institute Berlin under Kurt Rosenwinkel, guitarist Igor Osypov was initially drawn to the guitar as a pre-teen via rock and punk-rock. Osypov's debut album I is, on the surface, the type of sunny, moderately complex, indie-rock inflected jazz that's the stock-in-trade of guys like Brian Blade, David Binney, ...
